>Great, that's exactly what I need to know. Thanks for the quick reply.

Wayne,
You might find rep2excel tool
here in download section usefull.

I created whole thing out of necessity to create
extremely complex excel output and having no time to
crunch cumbersome excel automation calls.

It might not be very user friendly because is
all in code but if u get into it,
might save you lott of troubles.

NOTE: Writing is slow because is based on OLE automation
but it alows you to create complex output, fill up multi sheet excel forms,
or templates using simple commands like

oXl.set_cell(1,1,5,'Simple')
oXl.array_in_section(2,2,3,myArray)
oXl.table_in_section(3,3,30,myAlias)

etc. (See samples)
